Christian Del Bianco

"I was personally fortunate enough to have parents that were financially able to put me in sports,” said Roughnecks goalie Del Bianco. “I believe that every child should have that same opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves. When you donate to KidSport you're not only helping kids, but also parents who financially struggle, be included in the sports community."

The program will see both Del Bianco and the Calgary Roughnecks Foundation direct $30 while Ascent Consulting Ltd. donates $500 for every regular season assist recorded by the Calgary goaltender. In addition, Del Bianco is auctioning off his helmet on ElevateAuctions.com, which features the KidSport logo. Auction details will be communicated in the new year.
